T minus 3 days

I count 143 occupations across the United States. Wow, has the revolution finally arrived? Thankfully, it comes to us in the hands of people holding signs that read "Power to the Peaceful" and "Stay Positive; The Revolution is Awesome" rather than in the hands of tea partiers who like to show up at demonstrations brandishing weapons.

Locals: plan to join the "Copwatch / Know Your Rights" training. It will be:

Wednesday, 6-9pm
Walker Church
3100 16th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN

Mainstream media continues to dismiss the events as solely the domain of young people with too much spare time on their hands or old hippies in tie-dye shirts. They dismiss people who look (and smell) like they have been living for days on the street sidewalks. They do not search for what drives all these different people to actively live on the streets for a purpose. They need a person-in-charge to interview because reporters are untrained in democracy, which is the distillation of a raucous noise into a common voice. It is inherently untidy.

My Yahoo account was hacked yesterday. I logged in Monday morning at Yahoo, and their website immediately prompted me for a new password. The timing is strangely coincidental with my blogging about #occupywallstreet. I dislike secrets. I can't imagine anyone finding useful information in my emails that isn't already public on my blog.

As I mentioned yesterday, my own impetus to act is my conviction that a money supply based on an exponential function is mathematically required to fail. I want to eliminate money growth to improve our future.

Pick your own cause and join in. If attending an occupation is too far outside of your comfort zone, then donate a few dollars (or phone in a credit card order for pizza delivery) to help out people in your area.

Or write this name on your car window:

OCCUPYTOGETHER.ORG

You can make a difference. It's easy. :)

GIR: "Somebody needs a hug!"

Peacenik power is producing heroic images on the web.  I especially like this one.

I mentioned on Monday the video of police arresting 700 people on Brooklyn Bridge. The crowd caused a commotion when police arrested a teenage girl. Apparently, she wasn't even part of the occupation. She was just there to take pictures of the march. Like most of them, she had no idea that she was doing something illegal and would be arrested for it.

She became a minor celebrity because of her keen sense of calm and her awesome GIR hat! *laugh*  What's not to like about this opportunity in America?

Go join an occupation in your area. You'll find many thoughtful, peaceful people just like you!
